Railroad Locomotives
A downloadable mod
This is my pack of railroad locomotives. I have everything from 1500hp switchers to massive 6000hp road locomotives. I have been working on these for a while now. I have quite a fleet of locomotives available from all class 1 railroads and some fallen flags. CHECK THE DEVLOGS FOR NOTES ON WHAT WAS ADDED/CHANGED IN THE MOST RECENT UPDATE. Here is a quick guide for setup with an explanation below:
- Store deliveries mod to spawn loco next to track.
- Some kind of extra strength to place loco on track (I recommend LUMBERJACK), with invisible wheels in the middle between the rails.
- Enter the locomotive and unfold to unlock the trucks to turn freely.
For all of the locomotives, I use the store deliveries mod to spawn it next to the track, then I use super strength to place the locos on the track. Unfortunately, the developer of the mod I was using reported me. So I have followed their instructions and removed the mod from my page. So now you will have to find your own mod that allows you to pick up enough weight to move the locomotives around. I now recommend LUMBERJACK mod as it is capable of lifting the locomotives if you change the settings in game. Anyways, there are invisible wheels in the middle of the front and rear axle of every truck. Those invisible wheels sit down in between the rails and thats what keeps them on the tracks. the trucks will sit on the tracks as they should. Once you have the locomotive on the tracks correctly with the invisible wheels between the tracks, you then must hit the "fold" function to unfold the loco. This will allow the trucks to turn freely as they should and allow them to follow the rails correctly. All locomotives can be connected to rolling stock and to other locomotives from either end. Currently, connecting multiple locomotives together does not increase the pulling power, it is strictly for looks. I hope to include that capability in a future update with an MU cable. All locomotives have the option to select the locomotive number. All locomotives also have multiple different lights, including headlights for SHF and LHF, illuminated number boards, truck lights, step lights, and ditch lights that can be solid illuminated, alternating flashing, or both. I have now added the ability to switch between SHF and LHF ditch lights using mouse controls on locomotives that have SHF and LHF ditch lights! Turning on the locomotive will turn the bell on. This mod, like most of my mods is a big WIP. I add stuff as I think of them and I am constantly tweaking and updating it. As always, let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback.

all we need is just your locomotives on fs25,Zca has everything else!!!!! KFC posted a model of a diesel loco that looked sick but hasn’t put it up to DL….i have fs25 but haven’t even gotten it started till these mods come out..hope all is well…long live jweezy!!!
say it louder for the people in the back
what map do you do construction on
was the flexity jumping the track fixed?
Running into issues trying to get locomotives to run together. When I use the follow me mod it always seems to put an AI driver in the lead and then i can't get them to move. Any advice on how to set up multiple locomotives? Absolutely love the mods! I have used them to build large rail networks on two 16X maps now.
Thank you! so this is how I run multiple units together, Ive put a consist together with 6 locomotives on the head end using this method:
I hope this makes sense? and I hope it works for you! if you have any other questions or need some more information on it lemme know?
Thank you for the help! Followed these steps and it is working great. The only other thing that i have been struggling with is getting the warehouse crane on the supports. I read an article on it that talked about removing the warehouse roof to make it easier but i cant seem to figure out how to do that. Any advices to get he crane in the warehouse? I just have to say your mods are awesome and I have really enjoyed building rail systems with them.
Thanks for another awesome update. Real cool to see the S-12s and Snoot Noses added. Now to finish tinkering on this map and start making a railway again
Youre welcome! yeah i am really happy with how those S-12s and snoots came out. especially the sounds for the S-12s! and ooo what are you tinking with? and I cant wait to see your railway!
Tinkering around with what started out as Wild Wild West. Changing some of the roads, debating on removing the entirety of the highway, have removed some fields completely/partially, adding forests, adding to the water network, debating if I am up to the task of redoing some of the industries that came with it. Looking to build the rail network in editor, testing as I go. Have pulled the railroad silo out of Elm Creek, although I haven't figured out how to set it up as a working silo as of yet. It's all been a work in progress that I have changed direction with several times over the past 3 months. Have looked at Rennebu a couple of times, just trying to find a viable route to run a railroad through it as its also got a good distance to run end to end.
Holy crap! that is awesome man! sounds like quite the setup once you get it to be a working railroad
is jweezy ok? it seems he hasnt been active in a long time..
wondering the same thing. Usually he pops up with an apology and a bunch of delayed content, or he could be doing what all fs22 modders did, quit. now that fs25 is out a lot of people have to update their mods and some of them still aren't happy with the state of the game so they decided to jump ship. i hope Jweezy returns though, his mods gave me a reason to play again
Howdy everybody, Yes i am doing good, been working a lot of hours lately at my real job and then my wife and I have taken a couple of vacations to make up for all the late hours I have been working haha.
The good news is, I do have another update for the locomotives and the rolling stock! I also have an update for the warehouses because I created a massive locomotive shop. I dont really think I have any updates for the track, I tried to add a couple small things but i am not very happy with them. But anyways! I will see if I can get this latest update out today.
The bad news is, this may be my last update for my railroad stuff in FS22. The only thing I have in my brain that I would like to add is to change the locomotives numbers from decals to color changeable objects. That would make it much easier to color match for the different roads and also would allow me to use the correct fonts for the different roads. Then I could also add dynamic rolling stock numbers to the rolling stock as well. That would be a lot of work obviously, so Idk if I will get it done before I switch to FS25 or not. That would be the last update I would do for FS22 if I do do it.
As for FS25, yes I do plan on converting at some point. I dont have a timeline for that, As I am sure you guys have seen, another modder has created some railroad mods for FS25 inspired by my work. Yes he talked to me first and I whole heartedly support him. I dont know that I have the time or the energy to convert all of this by myself. So, I have also given permission to another modder to work on convert my railroad mods. I still do not even own FS25 yet, I am sticking with FS22 and have gotten back into construction mods and RP as I got kinda burned out on my railroad mods. youll see why, I added A LOT again haha. But yeah, I appreciate everybody checking in on me. I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to everybody, real life along with modding burn out has kept me from finishing this latest update. I hope yall can forgive me, and I hope yall enjoy the latest update!
Thanks,
JWeezy
can you add “the Katy” locomotive in
Yes! I love that Katy loco, ill see if I can add it at some point if I do another update. Idk if youve seen it yet butt I have added MKT SD40 to the latest update
what about big boy? and the new savegame?
Yeah, Big Boy maybe.. It is a SIGNIFICANT amount of work to get those steam locomotives functioning at least somewhat good with all the moving parts. Big boy would obviously be even more. we will see if I can make it happen.
let it take as long as it needs to.
i feel you on the overtime, been doing a lot of extra time as well so i feel you. I figured you got burnt out on the mods, glad to see you're doing alright and welcome back.
yeah it can really wear on ya haha. butt yeah I am good! just tired lol. but thank you! I hope you like the latest update
when was you going to post the update to the warehouse?
So sorry! i totally forgot about that! going to post it rn
any timeline on the conversion to fs 25?
jWeezy can you add f40ph like amtrak csx metra via rail mbta please
and also csx heritage unit and pride in service and ocs train and operation life saver and veterans unit and we are one
Is J still doing updates to these mods now that 25 is out? noticed its been awhile since last update
Yes sorry, see my message above!
How can I move the turntable it says object to heavy with lumberjack mod
make sure your settings for it are turned up in your settings menu thats the issue for most people with that mod
hello Jweezy, i need some help trying to drive the Alstom Flexity 2's, I dont know how I can actually get the middle to flex, and when I do it manages to fling itself off the track, is there a more simple way to drive these? thank you
Hello! Yeah I am trying to figure out how I want the Flexity to work.. because the only way I can make the character change seats is using the fold function.. So currently, to "unlock" the flexity so that it can bend and the trucks can turn, there are mouse controls. go all the way to one side and itll allow movement. then, just leave it, you shouldnt have to lock it (which is why it flings itself off the track for you) unless you need to rerail it. I will try and find a better way in the future, but that is what I got for now
Thank you, that seemed to work, just last thing, the flexity's seem to really love jumping the track, this isn't that much of an issue with other locomotives but the flexity sets really like jumping off the tracks whenever the two track pieces come together
hey jweezy construction! I'm just curious but will the locomotives that i requested be added in a future update? also idk if its just a me issue or an issue with the mod but even if i have only the required mods and the railroad mods it makes the textures really low quality i have tested for mod conflict and with or without the mods it still happens and it only happens on pacific NW farming sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't is this a issue with my computer or just a game issue? also in the garage menu for railroad loads it wont let me open it to sell
Howdy Logitech, possibly in the future! no guarantees.
As far as your texture issue.. I am not sure what the problem is. I have hundreds of hundreds of hours with the mods on my savegame and do not ever experience that issue.. Maybe google it and see if you can find anything?
As far as the railroad loads, it sounds like I messed something up then if its causing that! I will take a look at that. I have updated them myself since then, just havent uploaded them to itch quite yet butt ill look!
as for the textures i figured it out! most of Lambo mods mods conflict with your railroad mods causing the textures to go haywire.
Hey Jweezy the csx es44ac only has the monon skin on it for some reason even though its not an option and you cant select the yn3 and yn3b skins. (Just wondering if you fixed this issue yet). :)
Should be fixed! the ES44AH has the YN3 YN3B and the heritage paint schemes, and the ET44AH has the YN3 and YN3B
sick thank you
whats your discord
Hey Jweezy, are you going to be making mods or converting to 25?
Howdy, I plan to at some point! I dont play 25 yet, and from what I have heard its a huge pain to convert.. so I dont have a timeline to switch yet
Hey, I like the new update very much, especially the SD 7/9 locomotives, but I still have the problem, that every paint sheme I edited for myself, turns white after adding it to the mod.
Is there any special thing that i have to do to make the textures work?
Thank you! how are you trying to replace the textures?
I save the DDS-file on my Desktop after editing it, then put in into the texures folder of the mod and click on replace existing file.
Hmmmm im not sure.. you would have to look at the error log to see what the issue is
j when are you dropping that cat 430 backhoe?
How do i get the Tram to work? I figured out how to unfold it but it just jumps out in curves and on straights no matter what speed i go at.
Also the Tram dosent have any Sounds.
Oops, forgot to add some electric sounds! and it cant go very fast, only about 5 or 10 on the curves and a bit faster on the straights. once you have it unfolded it should follow okay
I see, so i just have to be carefull. thanks :)
Hey JWeezy, I'm super pumped for the next update, especially because you said you were doing quite a bit with the tankers! Any word on when it might be coming? No rush, of course, just curious on when we might expect to see it drop!
Howdy friend! Sorry for the delayed response, life has been busy. Butt maybe this weekend! I finally have some free time. I will try and get updates for everything pushed this weekend
No worries at all; I totally understand it. I'm actually just now getting back on after about a week or so myself due to the same thing. I saw you dropped it though and I can't wait to check it out!! Always appreciate the hard work you put into these to let my inner child play around with big diesel trains!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy, I added A LOT of locomotives this time, and a bunch more paint schemes for other locomotives
Hey JWeezy ! Anyway to get in contact with you ? Would like to talk about sponsoring you to convert to FS25.
can you bring the locomotive from fs 25 to fs 22 that was great here
any chance you'll bring everything over to fs25?
dude I hope so..
I hope to at some point fellas! I dont currently even own FS25, so it aint in the works yet. but hopefully at some point!
we may have to start a go fund me for you to get the game lol
I would definitely pitch in some to get a game in their hands!
Whenever i open the shop and select a vehicle it's like there's a box it spawns inside of. Alongside this, the locomotives or rolling stock are always forced to their side, sitting on the engineer's side of trucks. Any explanation for this?
the locomotives and rolling stock have wheels in the middle that ride inside of the rails, that is what makes them follow the rails. because of these wheels, they sit weird when not on rails
hey Jwezzy, been loving the content man, especially loving all the heritage units! I'd love to see the UP Rio grand heritage unit come to the lineup; I've seen the damn thing on my local mainline like 3 times this week so it's calling me lol! I also would love it if the rolling stock could get some rolling sounds to them if it's possible. Regardless keep up the great work!
Howdy! glad you like them! Yes I love the D&RGW unit that UP has! I plan on doing it sometime soon, its just a little complicated so I havent attempted it quite yet haha. but I will! thats awesome that it has come thru your local mainline so much lately! I unfortunately live on a not busy BNSF subidivision, so the best I can hope for is an ATSF warbonnet Dash 9 on a BNSF grain train every once and a while lol
No worries at all I'm sure there's a lot of time and effort put into finding the models and then making the designs for the paint jobs, I can't wait to see it added eventually! Dude, I swear I can't stop seeing it lol, it was hooked up to the UP worker's heritage as well two times it came through so double heritage but I of course didn't get a shot of it because I was working (the main line through Abilene, TX is right next to my job) I also saw "The Katy" UP heritage today as well. That's still super cool man I have yet to see a war bonnet and there's a whole BNSF sub here as well lol. I'm still trying to learn the schedules and everything but if you ever find yourself in Abilene stick around for a few trains and you'll likely see a UP Heritage lol.
Im sorry but I really need help Jweezy Construction. I love your mods, but im getting really pissed off. The first time I downloaded your train mods I had a blast, but now every since I've got the updated version my train just tips on one side and wont sit straight. Even happens when I try to drive away. wont work. I will show you a video of what I mean but I tried different mods, and don't worry I am using the 100M re railer track and it still wont go. I'm so mad. Please help somone with this trouble
Here is the video to show what is happening
I cant see the video cause it says it is private. but try putting the trains on regular straight track
Please tell me how to add my locomotive and where I can find them?
@jweezy-construction do u have any plans to bring ur train mod to fs25?
Yes I plan on it at some point!
Any chance of adding lifting points to the locos and trailers so they can ne lifted on and off tracks via a crane lol and some aussie locomtoives
All of the locos and rolling stock are able to have a winch attached to them for lifting.. I think that would be a lot easier then me trying to guess where somebody would want a connection point for a crane? not to mention, then there could be weird connection prompts around the loco causing issue
were are the winch points lol front and rear, or on top for lifting
all you have to do is connect the winch to the locomotive, either the body or the trucks. both of them will allow for winch connections from the winch pack
You should def add some more ns heritage units like the southern and Pennsylvania ones
will be at some point!
hey are you adding the fwwr
Not yet
ok
Hi i`ve send you discrod request, i have some fs25 locos and want to ask something
here is my discord 474205699073900544
accepted!
will you be putting your loco up to download? For fs25
yes, check my mods. You need to dowload all 4 of them
Hey JWeezy! I was wondering if you could make it so that the locomotives have a plow at the front so that i can plow my tracks? Also maybe a plow as rolling stock? Thanks!! I absolutely LOVE this mod!
Howdy! first off, thank you so much! i am glad you enjoy them!
Second, I tried to make a snow plow at one point, however I didnt like the model much and it didnt turn out well.. Now that I have gotten better, maybe I will try again!
het jweezy, recommendation for the next update is MKT locomotives and stock! also most of the locomotives liveries are blurry to.
Yeah I like the MKT! I might add it at some point!
my dad has the top picture in a frame in his shop lol
were you able to add the fwwr
This is a disgrace and not a fashion HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
get out bro
Im sorry, what is the problem friend?
Have been enjoying your train mods and savegame on PNW my only issue is the Berkshire Tender does not unfold and derails my train every time.
Is there a fix for this that Im missing
thank you for the amazing mods and I look forward to them in FS25
Glad you are enjoying them! As for the Berkshire, I am not having that issue, it is unfolding just fine for me and functioning properly.. Could you try again with no other mods enabled?
Yea I will do that this weekend and get back with you
Thank you
I tried it without all my mods just the necessary ones it it did work as should now I have to go through and see what mod has the conflict
Gotcha, sorry to hear that, good luck!
Hey Jweezy the csx es44ac only has the monon skin on it for some reason even though its not an option and you cant select the yn3 and yn3b skins.
Howdy! shoot sorry about that, I will fix that!
Check your DM's on discord, sent you 2 GP7s and 5 GP38-2 skins.
Roger! thank you!
hey jweezy is it posssible that you could add maybe some up passenger cars maybe just dome, normal, end, and baggage?
I was just wondering if you were going to make that 930M AG Handler with the highlift boom? because the standard one can really reach into the feed mixers and trucks. And to make it easier probably just make it an option for the 938M
why did you post this on my railroad locomotives mod when it is completely unrelated to this mod, and when I already told you that I would see what I can do?..
